Question on Buying 10 years old flat with registration on hold Question on Buying 10 years old flat with registration on hold

1 week ago

I have shortlisted a flat but since Registration are on hold,Was planning to proceed with sale agreement and complete the registration later ,but the seller is asking for 95% of the amount and remaining 5% after registration.Can I legally give the flat on rent as I am paying 95% basing on a sale agreement.Also is it wise to give 95% of the amount even if flat won’t be on your name.Any suggestions how to proceed with it as I really like the flat.

A.Dear Client,
An agreement to sell does not confer title or ownership of the property to the buyer unless it is registered in his favour following the registration formalities. So, without being a owner of the flat you legally cannot sublet it to others. When the registration of a property is on hold, without verifying the status of the title and encumbrance of that property, any investment involves a potential risk of financial loss apart from other consequences. The payment of 95% of consideration value of the property based on possession of the property post agreement to sell is not advisable at this juncture. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear sir,
You must take possession and stay there physically as you are paying 95% percent of the amount. But it is not wise to pay such big amount without title that is sale deed.
